Would We Know Each Other?

I walked into Wal-Mart the other day with a friend, we were busy talking as we shopped. Well, we really were only there to get a few things. We were talking, while my friend pushed the cart. We went from the office supplies aisle to the hardware section. We walked over to picture frames and back to hardware. Did I see you, and I was too busy talking to notice? We didn't find what we needed, but should I have looked in a different section, and then I would have seen you?

What if I drive the same route to work every day, and you're driving right behind me? Or you drive by me, we make eye contact, yet keep driving in different directions?

Maybe I'm out to eat with my sister, and you're sitting at another table with a woman. I notice you, and want so desperately to find the chance to talk with you...but you're with a "girlfriend." But I just made the mistake of your sister being your girlfriend.

It's unusual that I stop at a coffee shop. One day I do, but I'm in a bit of a hurry. So, I hurry and order, while just watching the time fade away, waiting for my coffee drink to be made. I don't take the time to look around...and you don't approach me, because you think I look annoyed...and really who wants to approach an annoyed woman. I quickly rush out the door, start my car, and never look back at you.

Would I know you, if I saw you? Would you recognize me, if you saw me? Would our eyes meet, and it just clicks? Would our hearts beat ever so quickly at the first sight of each other? Would you accidentally bump into me, and then "OH" we take notice? Do we drive by each other, then you turn around to follow me...just so when I get out, you can say, "Hi," introduce yourself, and get my number? Or do we grab for the same thing, our hands glide across each other's, and we feel it?

Do we meet at a sporting event, a fundraiser, or work? Do we meet on our own, through a friend or colleague? Is it love at first sight (whatever that means?) Or are we friends first before it turns to more? Or when we meet, do we "just know?" Do we meet once a week for a month or so? Or once we meet, you can't separate us?

If in a crowded room, could I pick YOU out? Could I just sense that you were there..somewhere? And when I saw you, would I say, "THERE!"? Would I know I would meet you that night before I even got there? Or was I just going about my day, doing whatever it was I was doing, and BOOM, there you were?

I may not know how, when or where I'm going to meet you, but you already occupy so many of my thoughts. The love I have for you already exists...and I don't even know who you are, yet I do. You possess certain qualities that I desire, for I would not be with you otherwise. You and I both know how much more we will become together. I know somewhere you are thinking and feeling the same thing. I know you want to find me as badly as I want to find you. I know you will know me...as I will know you. You will see and feel it, as much as I will. You will not be "perfect," as I am not, yet we will be perfect for each other.

It may be days, months or years (hopefully not years). Or it could be tomorrow. Tomorrow my life could change all because I meet you, my love! So, as I go about each and every day, I will look forward to tomorrow, for that is one day closer to meeting and being with you. You will change my life, as I will yours. Our longing to find one another will be over, and we can begin to enjoy the rest of our lives together. So, I fall asleep knowing tomorrow might be the day I meet you. There can be nothing that makes me happier...that is until you're in my life. Until we FINALLY meet....
